In Photoshop CS3 sPSActionDescriptor- Make(&desc1) causing error

Hello,
In Photoshop CS3
"sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc1) " returns null and code execution breaks whereas same source is working for CS5 & CS6.
Please help me to sort this out.
Thanks.

Which version of the SDK are you using? My guess is that you are using CS6 or earlier SDK and the version number of that suite is newer and CS3 does not expose the suite version you are asking for.
Try changing the version of sPSActoinDescriptor to use kPSActionDescriptorSuitePrevVersion. Make sure you check for NULL for all functions before using them. If I remember correctly only the PutInteger64 and GetInteger64 routines are for version 3. You could also add in two versions of the sPSActoinDescriptor and try to acquire the new version and if that fails try to acquire the old version.
If that doesn't work you can try using the CS3 SDK.

  • Photoshop CS3 is popping out an error dialog

    Photoshop CS3 is popping out an error dialog when trying to open some of the PDFs. The Error Message is “Error opening the Portable Document File (PDF) document. Error code = 0x40010015”. Can some one please let me know what does this mean?

    I can’t tell You what it means actually.
    But like pointed out in another thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1623763) You might try re-saving the pdfs from Illustrator.
    Or save a PostScript from Acrobat and re-distill that.
    With which application were those pdfs created?

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

    Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
    This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
    We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
    Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
    TechNote for further information.

  • Photoshop CS3 Eng Widows WebInstaller Extract Error

    I downloaded Photoshop CS3 and run the installer. After it extracted some part of installator files it displays extraction error, so the installator placed on the ADOBE.COM web site is corrupted. Where to find correct one?

    Lets say. I tryed on 2 mashines: 1 in corporate network and second in home lan. Everyone of them have NOD32 antivirus installed and do not reported anything suspicios.
    Problem still here.

  • Bug:  Holding slider in Photoshop CS3 color selection dialog causes issues under Windows 7

    I was using the color selection dialog this morning and discovered that clicking and holding the vertical slider or the little arrows for about three or four seconds causes Windows 7 to declare Photoshop CS3 as being unresponsive.  The whole Photoshop UI starts freaking out at that point:  The color selection dialog "vanishes" and black bars start appearing all across the application.  Minimizing and then showing the application restores it to its previous state.

    You're welcome.  Glad to hear the driver update corrected the issue for you.

    I just got it, having previously used a 4670.  The 5670 is not hugely fast in the benchmarks, probably not much faster than yours, but it animates everything in Photoshop perfectly smoothly (Photoshop is far less demanding than most games).  I am most fond of the fact that the 5670 draws so little power it doesn't need an extra power connection over and above what it gets from the PCIe buss, and so it runs cool and quiet.

  • FILE WONT OPEN IN PHOTOSHOP CS3... Gives error not compatable with this version

    i have read through several other threads an nothing suggested seems to work
    when i attempt to open a particular psd it tells me file cannot be opened because it is not compatible with this version of photoshop. it was built in cs3 and worked like 5 hrs before i tried to open it to work on it didn't save it when i opened it the last time(as in i just opened it on my pc to show some one n closed it ) i tried opening it in everything suggested it doesn't work. PLEASE help it was hard work ...

    How are you saving these files (i.e., where did the file that won't open come from)?
    If you're saving a .psd with a NEWER version of Photoshop, then in the newer version you should go into Edit - Preferences - File Handling and change the field Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility to Always if you want to be able to pass the PSD files around to multiple (older) versions of Photoshop.
    If you're getting the files from others, you need to ask them to make the above change.

  • Photoshop CS3 error saving files - Could not save ... because the fileis already in use or was left

    I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only started happening last night. Heres a description of the problem.
    When I try and save a Photoshop file, I get the following error message:-
    Could not save (filename). because the file is already in use or was left open
    I have rebooted my computer, rebooted our server, un-installed & reinstalled Photoshop and also done a system restore, and I still have the problem. (The system restore actually caused huge problems I got the error message The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support, except I wasnt able to reinstall or uninstall the product. The computer just would not run the installer. I had to undo the system restore.)
    I can do Save For Web with no trouble and I can save files to the same location with every other Adobe product installed in the Web bundle, just not Photoshop.
    We have 2 machines here with an identical set up (hardware and software) and the problem is only on one machine.
    Even though Photoshop says it cant save the file, its actually saving the file in the following format:-
    ~psX.tmp where X is a random variable, either characters or numbers.
    I have to manually open My Documents and rename the file to filename.psd so I can access it again.
    Short of reformatting my computer (which Im not keen on doing because it will mean several wasted work hours and I will have to pay our IT people to come in and hook me back up to our network), how can this problem be fixed?
    I have also Googled the problem and the only help I found was a suggestion to search for a psicon.dll file and rename it. This file does not appear anywhere on my system, so I'm at a loss.
    I have contacted support about this issue, but thought it was also worth while to ask here at the same time.

    I'm having similar problems with not being able to save files after editing them (and giving them a new file-name, obviously) in Photoshop Elements 4.0. I get an error message saying (for instance): "Could not save as (whatever I'm trying to name the file) because the file is already in use or was left open". Then I see a .tmp file (that I can't open)
    I did a search and found that the file was being saved twice, once within Photoshop (where I'm working with it) and also in..
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Temporary"
    I'm assuming this is the problem, but if you have any clue as to why is this happening and what I can do about it, I'd welcome any input. I've been using PSE-4.0 for years, and this problem just started cropping up. The only (cumbersome) way around this problem has been to just make my edits (in PSE-4.0) and do a "save" under the original file name, then go into explorer and rename the file. So, in short, I cannot do what I've been doing for years, editing a picture and saving it (renamed) in the sane folder (or a different one).
    I can "see" the .tmp files in PSE-4.0, but they won't open.. but they will in JASC.. odd..
    Thanks-

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

    I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
    Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    Windows 7 with all updates current
    Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
    I'm running:
    intel core i5
    16 GB RAM
    148 GB free on drive C
    698 GB free on Drive D
    465 GB free on drive E
    465 GB free on drive F
    2 DVD-R drives
    All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
    No new hardware has been installed since.
    Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
    Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
    Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
    I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
    I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
    I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
    When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
    I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different.  I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so  I updated it again.  There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
    Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in.  Thank you for any help.

    O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway.  I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time.  Downloading and installing 12.6
    New driver installed but this did not resolve problem;  still getting the error message when trying to load the program
    FIRST!!!  I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
    While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options.  Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs;  I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
    I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

  • Photoshop CS3 Program Error

    Since upgrading to Leopard I run Photoshop CS3 and I get a programming error message. I say OK and continue working. It also happens when I use the text tool.
    Anyone else? Solutions?

    Hello,
    First try emptying your cache in your home directory folder (Home>Library>Caches). Trash everything located in the folder except the folder itself. Quit Photoshop if open and try again.
    If that does not work, try deleting the preference file(s) for Photoshop (make sure Photoshop is closed).
    If the above did not work at all, then I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS3.
    I hope this helps!

  • Trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this pro

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

  • Getting a "Setup Error" when I try to re-install Photoshop CS3

    I've had a nightmare week.  My iMac crapped out and I lost the harddrive.  Now I'm slogging through the process of re-installing all my software.
    Per the instructions of the Adobe Customer Service, I went into "My Adobe" > "My Orders" and downloaded the Photoshop CS3 I purchased in Sept. 2007.  (I know it's old but it serves the purpose I need).
    But when I double click the "Setup" application, I get the following message:
    Setup Error
    Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
    When I contacted Customer Support, they told me they could not help me because they do not offer support for old versions of CS and to post a question here, so that's what I'm doing.
    Does anyone know what the "Setup Error" is and how I can re-install Photoshop CS3?

    Is IE your default browser?
    The address in that error is somewhat peculiar, in that it points to a process running on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that points to your own system).
    I suggest that after downloading and saving the Flash installer to a folder, you completely exit Firefox, and do the installation with Firefox closed in case having Firefox open is interfering in some manner.
    Of course, make sure you get the official installer from Adobe, and '''uncheck the box for any tag-along software that you do not want''':

  • Photoshop CS3  - error console warning on opening

    Hi, I am working on a Mac book pro. I have recently noticed a warning message coming up on console messages when I open Photoshop, or indeed any of my adobe programmes. Part of the message that shows is detailed below. Please can anybody advise what is causing this. Have the programmes been corrupted in some way?

    Someone else reported this recently.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 MSI Error

    Hello,
    I have been getting the wierd error when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 using the MSI package that I created.
    Could not write value data to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Handshake\{GUID}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personel.
    This error happens regardless of who is trying to install the MSI pacakage (regular account or Administrator). I even tried to give explicit permission to the regkey, however OS prevents me to do so. I would really appreciate if any of you have seen this error and guide me.
    Thank you in advance.
    Dipu

    "using the MSI package that I created."
    Have you tried installing without that, it may be a problem there.
    "regular account or Administrator"
    Have you tried creating a new account or using the actual 'Administrator' account (not an account with Administrative permissions)?
